Leak-free PFA fittings

Immediately available is a line of Pureloc® PFA fluoropolymer compression fittings in a dozen styles. Targeted for mating with fluoropolymer tubing, the fittings are used in clean applications such as semiconductor, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, medical and biomedical, laboratory, and chromatography. Made from virgin-grade, chemically inert PFA fluoropolymer, the fittings are suited for pure fluid applications where contamination-free systems are required. Purelocs consist of four precision-made parts (nut, gripper, ferrule, and body) that provide leak-proof connections. The fittings offer see-through construction to ensure proper fitting installation. The nut design has a ridged surface that is easy to grip and tighten. Purelocs may be disassembled and reused, saving purchase and inventory costs.

Humidity and micro head sensors

New additions to the Cambridge AccuSense airflow analysis line, a humidity sensor (UHS1000) and micro head airflow and temperature sensor (UAS2000), provide more functionality for airflow and thermal analysis in the ATm2400/USB sensor line. The UAS2000 micro head airflow and temperature sensor uses patented pulse technology; smaller than 0.5 mm, it can record airflow and temperature inside the fins of a heatsink, between tightly spaced components, and in other small locations. The ATm2400 eliminates time-consuming and costly manual data recording and enables simultaneous measurement of air velocity, humidity, airflow, and surface temperatures at 36 locations. All of the data is recorded in real-time and can be analyzed and manipulated using Accutrac®, a Windows-based software package.
